I have been a RN for a few years going. Used the Post 9/11 GI Bill for the two year nursing program to earn my RN license. I am currently using the rest of my GI Bill for my BS in Music Theory.

My RN license will give me a pay check much more than my studies in music will ever give me. Are there times that being an RN is very trying? Absolutely, but damn, I have a recession/depression proof skill that will always be in demand.

I met a woman who was majoring in hotel management. I told her that most hotel managers had ever heard of such a degree and had instead worked a few months at the reception desk. She couldn't believe me.

At the time, she was on an unpaid internship... working the reservation desk at a hotel.

See - my daughter (and Yours Truly) have some minor artistic ability. I'm good with charcoal, sketching and design - she is race grade painter.

In any event, math is hard, art is fun and my young daughter made the mistake of talking to some pasty faced beardo prof in the fine arts dept at the U of C. He asks to see her work, so she goes home and brings it back for him to look at.

The beardo goes to work - he tells her how great her work is, how much potential she has, and what an utter idiot she has for a father that can't see any of that. Why, she should dump the sciences and enroll in the fine arts program! She is good enough to make a living at it dontchya know!!!

What's a 20 year old girl gonna do? Listen to the mean old man that wants to torture her with science and math - or listen to the cool hand Luke hippy prof - who admires her work and is full of encouragement?

And of course you can guess the rest: daughter graduates with a degree in fine arts (whatever that is) - and is now a till monkey in a sporting goods shop trying to pay off student debts on minimum wage. As an added bonus, during her years hanging out with the cultural elite and artsy fartsy tutu crowd...she discovered she was gay. GAH.

Don't dismiss these guys Cap. They can still do remarkable damage to young people and are not to be taken lightly. Sheesh, if you employed tactics like that anywhere else you would be looking at charges for fraud! Don't let this happen to you, and FFS don't let it happen to your kids.

Children do not inherit the sins of their fathers...but fathers have to answer for the sins of their children.

Ultimate form of laziness right there. Might as well study tiddlywinks instead.

You're also correct about math. Out of all the classes I have to take this semester, the class actually takes effort, and lots of it too, despite that the professor really doesn't do much instead give a condensed version of what the damn textbook already talked about.

I went back to college at 36 for a Geography degree. Sounds worthless, but I had very specific reasons for doing so and it worked out fine. It was a second degree,(I had an earlier degree at traditional age) so I only needed major classes and didn't need the totally Marxist indoctrination classes.

However, there was/is a travel/tourism major in the Geography department that I think of as a "Worthless" major as it comports with everything you say. Lots of very hot girls in that major.

At my job as a campus security desk job (a lesson I learned from Captain himself), I heard some poor saps bitching that their English teacher had them write a paper about the syllabus. Let that sink in.

Interesting to note that Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, and Pure Mathematics was on there. But at the bottom it says they have either merged or are now being offered as a B.S. degree. Applied physics is on there? Is this really difficult subject also worthless?

Captain, you have to watch these brainwashed college kids on Hannity. They debate the budget the deficit and economics. Liberal Democrats and Reublicans

We are so screwed !! I'd love to see you do a video on this with your thoughts----------------------------------My thoughts:

The brainwashed college chick in the red miniskirt looked really nice. It's not surprising that they placed her foremost in front of the camera. Have to make sure the NeoCons are paying attention. The other chick, three brainwashed NWO slaves to her left looked kind of frumpy (noticed the makings of a beer belly under that tacky white shirt with the blue sleeves)
